Domestic Abuse Awareness: A Foundation in Coercive Control

This beginner level/refresher training will help delegates to identify coercive and controlling behaviours and consider the impact of living with abuse from a partner, ex-partner or family member. 

Delegates will explore the tactics that perpetrators often use to create dependency, manipulate and control the victim/survivor. It will give housing practitioners the confidence to identify coercive control and pass concerns on to specialist response teams.  All attendees will also receive a delegate pack which includes information from the course and a list of specialist toolkits and national domestic abuse support lines.

This course covers:

• Definition and prevalence of domestic abuse
  
  
• Dynamics of coercive control
  
  
• Impacts of abuse and the risks around leaving

By the end of this training delegates will be able to:

• Recognise survivor/victims who do not fit the stereotypes of domestic abuse
  
  
• State who is at the highest risk when in an abusive relationship and why this issue is a housing issue
  
  
• Describe the dynamics of domestic abuse and identify coercive and controlling behaviours
  
  
• Explain the impact a perpetrator’s tactics have on survivor/victims

• Any housing professional
  
  
• Administrative staff
  
  
• Managers who want domestic abuse awareness
  
  
• New starters and Temp staff

Please note – If you have a customer facing role, it is best practice that you also attend training on responding to domestic abuse.
